Lab puppies – choosing the right one

1 : when you reach the breeders farm\home look at the place where the lab puppies are sleeping . is it clean? never buy a puppy from a breeder that looks like he doesnt take care of his puppies.

2 : When you enter the puppies room they should be happy and excited to see you. a healthy puppy is always happy and excited to meet new people.

3 : there will always be lab puppies that are more excited and will run to you like crazy and the other ones that will stay behind. always try to choose the puppy that is a mix of both.

4 : Look at the mom and dad. if they don’t look healthy to you that is not good. ask to see a medical proof that the parents are healthy.

Great so we now know what to look for when picking out our new puppy,whats next? well now you should learn some basictraining exercises for you and your new dog so both of your lives will be much easier and happier .

obviously a puppy will have problems controlling his bodily functions. so try to train them right from the start to do their business out side. dogs will not soil the area where they sleep. so it is a good thing in the beginning to put their bed in a small area or room so they will try to hold it until you let them out to relive themself. when you are out with your puppy try to take him to the same place every time and when he does his business praise him and use the same words every time so he can associate the place and your words with the action and remember to do that every time, lab puppies have accidents and will occasionally soil in the house. when this happens ignore it. clean it up and take them out side. there is no point in getting angry the puppy will learn in a few months that it is better for him to go out side and that will be the end of that.

Feeding Time – Diet

lab puppies and Labrador’s in general love food. they will eat anything and anytime and they really can’t control their appetite. you need to control their diet and give them measured quantity of their food so they wont get over weight. and obese dog is not only not fun but extremely not healthy and can cause many problems for your dog.when they are puppies you need to feed them with special puppy food that have lots of calcium for their massive bone structure.try to buy some good brand of food and not the cheap ones in the supermarket. a healthy diet for your lab puppies is very important.

exercise and training

Labrador’s are very smart dogs. they are one of the most intelligent breeds in the world so try to play games that will make them think. like hiding their favorite toy and then asking for it. they looooove playing fetch and can play for ours.the most important thing to remember about the Labrador’s is that they always want to please. when the labrador feels he is pleasing hi owner he is a happy puppy.

basic training is not hard to do with lab puppies, they are ver intelligent and can learn very quickly almost everything you will teach them. it only takes some patience from your end and you will be fine. basic commands such as ” sit ” , “stay “ and ” heal ” are easy to teach with a positive approach. when you command your puppy to sit repeat the command until he does it then instantly give him a treat and praise him. repeat this action until he follows it completely.it will not take long.
